Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Returned value cannot b-CodePudding

I am getting an error in simple program, earlier it was working fine, now for some reason I am not able to execute it. I am using selenium 3.0.1 Chrome driver 93.0.4 Please check my code and error below.
It would be appreciated if anyone can help me

My Code:

public class MouseOverDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\SeleniumJars\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        // JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
        //driver.get("http://demo.guru99.com/test/drag_drop.html");
        driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/resizable/");
        Actions action = new Actions(driver);

        WebElement resize = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body.jquery-ui.page.page-id-43.page-template-default.page-slug-resizable.single-author.singular:nth-child(2) div:nth-child(2) div.clearfix.row:nth-child(3) div.content-right.twelve.columns div:nth-child(1) > iframe.demo-frame:nth-child(5)"));
        driver.switchTo().frame(resize);
        WebElement resize1 = driver.findElement(By.id("resizable"));
        action.moveToElement(resize1, 2500, 2500).build().perform();
        System.out.println("Resize is done");
    
    }

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Google Chrome Browsing Context.

Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using. Though you are using one of the recent ChromeDriver v93.0.4577.63 but Selenium version is 3.0.1 which is old and ancient.

Solution

Ensure that:

JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u311.
Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 4.0.0.
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v95.0 level.
Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 95.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v78.0 release notes)
Take a System Reboot.
Execute your @Test as non-root user.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
